Santa loves a good cup of tea as much as anyone, won’t you invite him to join you? The pattern starts with the back and front knitted separately and then joined to work in the round for the head and embellished afterward. You can use DPNs, 2 circs, or magic loop. If you don’t have odd amounts of colors in your stash for the face or embellishments, try holding multiple strands together. Tea cozies don’t get too caught up in the whole gauge thing.
You will need tiny amounts of White, light pink and blue in addition to the Red for the main color.
